Since multiplying by 0.5 is the same as dividing by 2, the problem is described by the sentence
"Half the sum of a number and 40 equals 200"
Answer: m = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
What we know:
- The slope needs to pass through the points (1, -5) and (4, 1)
- There are 4 potential slopes given to us- only one is correct
- We need to find the slope and make sure it is an option
How to solve:
By using the slope equation and the two points given to us, we can calculate the slope.
Process:
- Set up equation (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
- Substitute (1 +5 ) / (4 - 1)
- Simplify 6 / 3
- Simplest form 2/ 1 =
Slope = 2
Solution: m = 2
